Got Craft? weekend all wrapped up!

Here are a few snapshots I took on my phone from this past weekend's craft fair. The week leading up to it was incredibly busy, but so worth it! The hours just flew by. I got a chance to debut a few new designs and get some direct feedback (I always enjoy seeing how people react to the cards). It was so nice to share a booth with my friends over at Simple Soap and to meet so many other great local vendors. Huge thanks to everyone who visited and to Lotus Events for organizing such an amazing event!

Happy Friday!

It's hard to believe that this is the last day of August. Where has summer gone? I'm hoping that the nice weather will hold out for a bit longer at least, but with each day I feel the cooling breeze of fall approaching. With this being the long weekend, I'm hoping to be able to fit in some relax time, go for some Menchies yogurt, and spend time with good friends. I hope you have a fun and relaxing weekend as well!

{Shop Stop}: Assemble Gallery & Studio

Assemble Gallery & Studio is an inspiring creative space that functions as part gallery, part workshop studio, and part retail. I'm thrilled to have my cards there alongside so many other beautiful goods. I love how they use old card catalogs to display the cards! They'll be launching an online shop very soon so you can get your hands on all the wonderful things they have in store. If you're in the Phinney Ridge area of Seattle, be sure to stop by to say hello.

Hello Portland!

Here are a few snippets via Instagram from my road trip to Portland a couple of weekends ago. It was SUPER hot during those four days, but we enjoyed ourselves. As most vacations go, there was a lot of walking around and PLENTY of eating. Highlights included stops at Pine State Biscuits, Stumptown Coffee, Portland Japanese Garden, food cart hopping around (because of the heat many of the trucks were closed), and a wonderful dinner at Andina. Looking back at the photos, most of them were of food! Portland definitely did not disappoint in this department.

We were hoping to drive along the coast and visit Cannon beach on our way back to Vancouver, but due to time constraints we were not able to. We'll have to leave this for another trip.

Friday's Thought...

 

Garden in the City

Over the weekend I unexpectedly happened across the park by City Hall. I've passed by the outside countless times and never knew there was a little oasis on the inside. We had just grabbed some Vietnamese subs and were going to walk around the Cambie Street area, but instead we ended up on a park bench taking in a beautiful summer day in the city. Photos were taken with my iPhone.

{Shop Stop}: much&little

much&little is a beautiful shop in the Mount Pleasant area. It has a feeling of vintage and modern mixed together, with jewelry pieces and household goods that I would love to have in my home. I'm thrilled to have my greeting cards here, along with a few other wonderful card lines. Each item is hand-picked by owner Sarah Savoy, and so thoughtfully laid out and displayed, making this shop a very special place to be.
